The Youtuber he's editing for is EZScape (makes top 10 and more fucking video essays about speedrunning), these get anywhere from a few hundred thousand to a million views.
In this stream Chibi says that he thinks the deal was $100 + 50% of whatever the video makes, but doesn't remember.
Sounds pretty good right? Well, I'm going to assume the footage Chibi is editing (basically let's play footage of a YuGiOh game) are getting uploaded to EZScape's secondary channel of like stream highlights.
These get significantly less views, averaging about the 20k range. Kinda seems like Chibi's getting scammed. If this is the lucrative job Chibi has lined up though this is a pretty major fuckup for a man who has property to pay for now (the date does line up perfectly from when he said he would start his new job, August 1st).
I still don't believe corporate would move him up (the man bitches about having a few customers on July 4th, doesn't scream superstar worker to me) and the fact that there was so much argument about the start and end dates of the jobs. Why would there be such issue if he was working for the same corporation? This is just my schizo theory though.
